Comment: My husband had gout the gave him a script for allopurinol. It shut my husband kidneys and liver down. They said it was a rare side effect. All the skin pealed off his body called DRESS. Some says it works good not for my husband it was horrible. Not a good drug.

Comment: Been on 150mg for a year, less attacks than before, but still too many. So bumped up to 300mg 2 months ago. Now I have pain in my left leg. Doesn't bother me to walk, but I can't sleep on my left side. Dialing back to 15mg... See how this turns out.

Comment: Only on it for a week. Nausea, pain in hand and knee, redness and itchiness to the face, no appetite at all. Glad I looked here because that looks like the norm. I'll give it a while.
